The Policy Lab of the UK Government is an official partner of the Hadaba Initiative and operates with the objective of bringing multidisciplinary expertise to support teams in comprehending the present, envisioning the future, and designing effective ways to achieve their intended policy impact.

Hadaba has established in the Summer 2023 a strong collaboration with CoDesignCo in Australia led by Dr. Emma Blomkamp, a renowned expert in Systemic Design. Dr. Blomkamp is the inspiration behind The Systemic Design Practice Wheel, a groundbreaking framework that provides guidance to practitioners who tackle complex problems using creative and participatory approaches.

Hadaba utilizes Lego Serious Play (LSP) as an innovative methodology that utilizes LEGO bricks to facilitate creative thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration in various settings, including policy design. With a team of certified facilitators of LSP, Hadaba aims at enhancing policy design processes through the application of design thinking and its various stages.

Hadaba has also joined forces with Perspectivity of Netherlands founded by Dr. Han Rakels. Dr. Rakels pioneered a transformative and immersive experience known as the Perspectivity Challenge, which is a form of “serious play” pedagogy. This methodology plases participants in the shoes of influential decision makers, tasked with the expansion of a virtual economy on a dynamic game board.
